By renowned director Tadashi Nakamura (acclaimed trilogy Yellow Brotherhood, Pilgrimmage and A Song For Ourselves), the film is the first-ever documentary about the young Hawai’ian native and ukulele virtuoso: Jake Shimabukuro.

For those unfamiliar with his music, all it takes is to hear a few chords—or glimpse him in performance—and the appeal comes through instantly.
